The Center for Research on Families (CRF) at the University of Massachusetts is pleased to announce the 2015-2016 Family Research Scholars.

Dr. Marsha Pruett (FRS '14-15) is an international figure in a growing movement to transform family judicial processes from the legal system to practical, group-oriented services. Learn more about her groundbreaking social work and psychological research.

For the past five years, the Center for Research on Families has supported undergraduate research opportunities through the Student Awards Program in Family Research. We recently reconnected with some of the former award recipients to learn about how their CRF funded research experience influenced their career ambitions after graduation. The responses were inspiring.
